Trump isn't the issue. You are. They can't stand people who aren't perfectly packaged into their little political boxes.

“They didn’t hate Trump until he ran as a Republican.”
And yet most establishment republicans also hate him, so that ain’t it.
No, they hate Trump because he’s the first president in a long time who isn’t explicitly and virulently anti-white. As a business man, he represents productive people first and foremost, and that category includes a lot of working and middle class white people. The left are communist and anti-white, so they despise his voter base on a metaphysical level. And the republicans aren’t much better; most of them hate the common man, populism, nationalism, etc. They relish in civic nationalism to the point of cultural suicide (or homicide, depending on hat size).
When they hate Trump and love Cheney, obviously it's not "being a Republican" that's the issue.
The hate him for dragging the Overton window far enough back that people are speaking positively about nationalism.
The Dino-Republicans hate him since he’ll point how much they suck and forces them to actually work. The Rhinos hate him because they’re Democrats. The new republicans are the only ones that love him because it’s an instant bump in votes for getting his blessing.
It's one part of that, but it's a lot more. He represents a genuine threat to their power. They would be die-hard white supremacists if and only if it could seal their power. Difference is that white people mostly figured out that was a grift decades ago.
The White Dudes For Kamala ad, frankly shows the way they pander and talk down to black people in order to try and get their vote. The good news is that this effort is so hollow that it has no effect on most white people, let alone the white men they are trying to target.
